As you well know I have started the transformation project on my wife's nightrain, what happened since then was a waiting exercise to recieve the part via Aramex - APO etc. I got the 17X6" rim together with a mean 200mm low profile tire, also recieved the struts Mashetti Style and a 9 inch fender. Since the transformation on a 17" was never attempted todate, I knew we would have some challenges in fitting the doughnut in the stock swing arm. We started at 8:30 and were done fitting the wheel at 18:00, including taking off the primary to change the original belt drive, a trip to the machine shop, extensive grinding and cutting in the frame. Next job in 10 days, installing the new exhaust and ordering more parts.

Sun shows iPhone-like Java Mobile FX platform

Sun is again trumpeting Java from the top of its lungs -- and we're not talking about speweing coffee here here -- showing off what appeared to be flashy new cellphone software at the JavaOne conference this week. Not big news there, except that the Sun software apparently looked eerily like the Apple iPhone's software; in fact, the platform Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz showed off is already being dubbed "jPhone" based on the striking resemblance to Apple's goods. The actual product name is Java Mobile FX and it's based on code from SavaJe, a Java-centric mobile OS company Sun just completed acquiring last week. The OS platform war has started, Symbian and MS are leading the pack, will Apple take first spot or will Sun manage to turn things to their advantage, one thing for sure I sure do hope that they have useful functionalities.

Kuwait takes 3rd place in car death accident.

Based on Al-Watan Daily"Kuwait ranks third in the number of deaths caused due to road accidents and statistics show that an average of 124 accidents take place every day in the country," Chairman of Traffic Safety Society and Member of High Council for Traffic Bader Al-Matar as saying. Speaking at a press conference held at the Council Center in Al-Shuwaikh Tuesday, Al-Matar said a total of 45,376 accidents took place in 2003, averaging 124 accidents per day and killing 372 people. "In 2004, 55,000 traffic accidents took place and caused death of 400 people," he said, adding 32.5 percent cases were reported in Capital Governorate, followed by Hawalli with 27 percent accidents. In 2005, 57,000 traffic accidents were reported, out of which 30 percent were reported in Capital Governorate, followed by Hawalli with 25 percent. As many as 455 people died in road accidents in 2005.
We should really be proud of this achievement and really should strive to take first spot next year! Kidding aside. What the hell is beeing done to bring people awareness to a level of responsability, to understand that cars are not missiles to be given to teenagers to show their driving capabilities on the Gulf Road. When will the government establish a race course allowing speed hungry youth to unfold their talents. When will they spend money on a shock and awe campaign in the media uncovering the dangers of speeding, I guess the answer is never, life is cheap and wasta is cheaper.
Meanwhile drive safe, wear a helmet and always look in your mirrors you never know you might be the next victim.
